A Prayer for Help1201When I was in trouble, I called to the LORD,and he answered me.2Save me, LORD,from liars and deceivers.3You liars, what will God do to you?How will he punish you?4With a soldier's sharp arrows,with red-hot coals!5Living among you is as bad as living in Meshechor among the people of Kedar.[O]Two distant regions, whose people were regarded as savages.6I have lived too longwith people who hate peace!7When I speak of peace,they are for war.
